I'd been using the EC2 Clear for a few years, and then tried the EC1. I thought it had a stiffer feel and didn't sound as sweet as the EC2. I suggest trying one of each on a tom that's easy to tune so you can hear and feel for yourself. But my recommendation is the EC2 Clear.

I had EC2s on my kit for a while...tough heads. I think they would work better on bigger drums though as they pretty much choked out my 10 and 12 toms. I never really cared for the plastic attack they have plenty of though, but they are more musical that Pinstripe heads. I think the EC2 Coated heads would be better though as they would have a warmer attack
